PTA Meeting and Reflections Gala
Our next PTA Meeting is this Thursday, 11/17 at 6:00pm followed by the Reflections Gala at 6:30pm where all pieces will be showcased and the chosen pieces that will move on to the district judging will be awarded.  Come view the great artwork our Pinetree Pioneers worked so hard on!  Light refreshments will also be served.

Pinetree Yearbooks
Fliers have gone home for the 2016-17 Pinetree Yearbook.  Prices start at just $22 for paperback or $28 for hardcover with available upgrades such as personalized cover, autograph pages, Zoom current events insert and stickies.  The deadline to get the yearbook at these prices is January 31st, 2017. After that date, prices will increase so we suggest pre-ordering now and save! 
You can use the flier to pay by check or you can pay online with debit/credit card at the Lifetouch site. Click HERE to Purchase
Pinetree's School code is:  10853317

Box Tops Contest
Keep collecting those box tops and turn them into your student's teacher.  The next prize will be awarded to the class that turns in the most box tops between November 1st and December 7th, and will be a holiday party pack ... hot cocoa and candy canes to be delivered during the last week of school before break.  Remind your family, friends and neighbors to collect as well.  It's a FREE and EASY way to help the Pinetree PTA.
